Hinweis der Redaktion
- It means “oneness”. In other words, unity in a paragraph means that the entire paragraph should focus on one single idea. The supporting details should explain the main idea. The concluding sentence should end the paragraph with the same idea. Thus, a unified paragraph presents a thought, supports it with adequate details and completes it with a conclusion.
- The purpose of this paragraph is to explain how to clean your room. 1. Does the first sentence maintain the unity of the paragraph? Yes. Here, the first sentence is the topic sentence. It lets the readers know that the paragraph will give the steps necessary to clean their room. 2. Does the second sentence maintain the unity of the paragraph? Yes. It gives the first step to cleaning your room. 3. Does the third sentence maintain the unity of the paragraph? Yes. It provides information describing what to do with the clothes. It provides extra information about the second sentence. 4. Does the fourth sentence maintain the unity of the paragraph? No. It tells the reader about the importance of doing laundry with a specific type of laundry detergent. Because sentence four does not support the purpose of the paragraph, it should not be included. 5. Do sentences five through seven maintain the unity of the paragraph? Yes. Each one gives a step on how to clean your room. 6. What about Sentence eight? Does it belong? Yes. This is the concluding sentence for the ideas in this paragraph. It sums up all the steps included in the paragraph.
- 5 I loved this type of movie when I was a child. This paragraph does not maintain the unity. The paragraph talks about movie types and not about whether the author loves the movie or not when he was a child. 10 The word hybrid is also used to describe a type of car. The paragraph is about movie types only. Mentioning the other usage of the word hybrid in describing a type of car diverts from the main topic of the paragraph.
- Coherence means establishing a relationship between the ideas presented in a paragraph. It brings about a rationale in the arrangement of the ideas which are introduced either in the chronological order or in the order of importance. Besides, transitions that compare, contrast, illustrate, add or show cause and effect build logical bridges. The ideas, thus expressed in the paragraph, flow smoothly from one to other in a logical sequence. This helps the reader to understand the paragraph.

- Good writers know that certain key words need to be repeated in a paragraph to keep the reader focused on the topic. Sometimes students worry that using the same word again and again can sound too repetitive. To avoid being repetitive, you can also use pronouns to replace these key nouns. For example, look at the paragraph that you put in order in the previous activity and answer the questions above.
- Transitional words and phrases are essential to maintain the flow and coherence of a paragraph. They are the links between ideas.
- 1. The topic sentence is: Sentence 1 2. Irrelevant sentence: Sentence 8 (should be removed from the paragraph) 3. The paragraph also shows coherence by the use of Pronouns: this, these Repetition of key words: river, hill, Transitional words: on the other side, even though, so, because, First, Second, The third amazing feature
- The topic sentence: Sentence 1 Irrelevant sentence: Sentence 7 Pronouns: This, their, it Repetition of key words: Mercury, Gemini, project Transitional words: For example, In addition, As another example, That is, Finally, and
